Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the collection, pre-analytic treatment, transport and grinding of solid samples, comprising a flask () having an opening () closed by a removable stopper (), for receiving a solid sample. Said flask contains a pre-analytic medium (), a plurality of balls () consisting of a solid material, and a means for holding the balls in place, that is designed to lose its effect when the flask is mechanically shaken or closed by the stopper, in such a way that, when the flask is mechanically shaken, the impact of the balls causes the grinding of the solid sample and the mixing thereof with the pre-analytic medium.
